of medicine in this room is very strong."Dugu Cheng lay on his side, gazing at Feng Lingxi who was sleeping soundly on the bed. It wasn't easy to make this woman fall in love with him."If you don't li..."Princess Consort, your hairpin."

The soldier handed the hairpin to Feng Lingxi. The carriage wasn't moving very fast, so they could easily keep up. Feng Lingxi looked at the soldier and said thank you.

The soldier hurried back to his squad. Feng Lingxi's curtain remained unlowered. He took out a handkerchief from his bosom and placed it on his nose, watching the curious commoners outside with eyes still searching the crowd.

It really isn't even a single familiar face here, and this isn't the way to the inn.

The handkerchief in his hand suddenly flew away with the wind. The soldier saw the handkerchief fly out and hurriedly went to pick it up. Feng Lingxi watched this scene towards the direction of the city, lowered the curtain, her eyes flashed a cold light, and subconsciously tightened the crossbow on her wrist.

As they approached the city gate, the carriage suddenly sped up. Feng Lingxi, who had been squinting her eyes, opened them wide. With a whoosh, she launched the crossbow hidden in her sleeve. There was a sharp sound, and the carriage seemed to be blocked by something. It tilted forward, and Feng Lingxi grabbed the handrail as it came to an abrupt halt.

"What happened"

The carriage suddenly stopped, and there was a sound outside. Feng Lingxi steadied her body and lifted the curtain of the carriage, asking, "What happened"

A soldier hurriedly ran back to report, "To the Princess Chen, the carriage wheels are stuck by something. Your Highness please wait a moment, it will be fixed soon."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, glanced at the guards at the city gate, and made a gesture towards them. The guards frowned in confusion. Feng Lingxi gestured with her hand, and the guard understood, ordering them to close the city gate.

The arrow that had been stuck in the carriage was finally pulled out, and just then, the city gate closed. A commotion arose, and Feng Lingxi's lips curled into a smile. She took out a bottle and sprinkled some powder on herself, lifted the curtain, and shouted loudly, "What's going on"

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, what brings you here"

A soldier hurried over, seeing Feng Lingxi descend. He panicked and wanted to have her get into the carriage, but Feng Lingxi had already noticed.

"Shouldn't we be going to the inn How did we end up at the city gate"

"This...this is just the news we received, let's go out of town."

Feng Lingxi looked at the guard in front of her, feeling a shiver run down her spine. How could this Chen Wangfei be unharmed Now she could only grit her teeth and face it head-on.

"It seems this princess really isn't suited for carriages. I just get worse sitting in them."

Feng Lingxi walked toward the city gate. The guards saw Feng Lingxi and hurried forward to pay their respects, "Greetings, Princess Consort of Chen."

"My Lady Consort of Chen, how did you come down"

The head guard was handsome and looked at Feng Lingxi's normal expression, secretly sighing. He even said that this carriage was specially prepared for the Princess Consort of Chen, which didn't hurt her at all.

“If this carriage hadn’t broken down, I wouldn’t have known that the inns in town had to go out of town. Shouldn’t we be asking questions at the inn How come now it’s changed to asking questions outside the city”

Feng Lingxi stared at the guard in front of her, "This is the border, it's chaotic here. Are you sure it's more suitable to ask questions outside the city than inside"

The princess consort's words were just a fabrication. It was merely a general sent by the emperor stationed outside the city, who had ordered his subordinate to bring the princess consort there for questioning.

"To change your tune so quickly, I wonder who the Emperor sent to question me this time"

"Your Highness, Princess Hui of Huicheng, it is the Minister."

Feng Lingxi heard this, her body trembling, "You said the Prime Minister came in person"

"Yes."

This cunning old fox, no wonder he used such means to get her out. It seems that he knows better than anyone else that he has no advantage in this Linxi County city.

"Since the Prime Minister has come in person, why not invite him to rest at the post house Staying outside the city like this is dangerous. Moreover, if word reaches the palace, people might say that we have neglected the Prime Minister."

"The subordinate thanks Lady Wangfei for her kindness. The Prime Minister said, since only Lady Wangfei is here this time, please do not make things difficult for the subordinate, and come with us."

Feng Lingxi heard this and smiled.

"If you want this Princess to leave the city, just say so! Why go through all this pretense It's one thing out front and another behind the scenes. If this carriage hadn't broken down, wouldn't I only find out I left the city after I was already gone"

The man's expression stiffened slightly, and he bowed to Feng Lingxi with an apology, "Your Highness the Princess Consort of Chen, forgive me. This subordinate knows his mistake."

"I'm just following orders. What's wrong with that I simply refuse your request."

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort, we shall escort you back immediately."

The guards on duty rushed forward, protecting Feng Lingxi behind them and facing off against the officials of the prime minister.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess, we are just following orders. Please do not make things difficult for us."

The officials at the Prime Minister's residence were unwilling to back down, their attitude no longer as respectful as before, and they seemed ready to fight.

“If the princess wishes to go with you all, it’s not impossible.” Feng Ling Xi ordered the guards before her, “You now go to the relay station and invite General Zhen Guo and the prince together. Tell them that the Prime Minister is outside the city, inviting me for a visit, asking them to come afterwards, and by the way, escort the Prime Minister back to the relay station.”

The guard quickly responded, and the two hurried away. The guards at the Prime Minister's Mansion informed Crown Prince Chen and General Zhen when they saw Feng Lingxi. An attendant by his side was about to leave, but Feng Lingxi stopped him.

"This princess consort can wait for the two of them to return before leaving the city with you. It will only take a cup of tea's time. The sky is still bright, so it doesn't matter if we wait a while. Don't leave, everyone, just wait here."

Wind Ling's eyes fixed on the guard who had just wanted to leave, "Don't sneak away while this Princess is not looking. If those two have any accidents, then this Princess won't be able to leave with you."

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, you are making it difficult for me."

Feng Ling Xi, her red lips slightly curled into a smirk, swept her phoenix eyes over the retinue behind him, and said, "If this princess didn't do this, once we left the city, I would be the one being wronged."

That person looked at Feng Lingxi, speechless after being retorted, not knowing what to say.

“The Crown Princess is joking. I wouldn't dare make things difficult for you.”

Feng Lingxi coldly stared at this person, “Don’t dare You can even sneak me out of the city behind my back, what else is there that you wouldn't dare to do”

He bowed his head again and apologized with his hands clasped.

"My subordinate is offering their apologies to the Princess Consort of Chen. I was afraid that the Princess Consort would be unwilling to leave the city, so this was my only option. If the Princess Consort wishes to punish me, then do as you see fit."

After finishing his words, the man knelt on one knee, awaiting Feng Lingxi's punishment.

Feng Lingxi let out a cold snort. “This princess wouldn’t dare to wrong someone under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister. Rise, then. Since the Prime Minister wishes to see me, he should wait for King Chen together. Let’s speak clearly when we meet.”

The person was wronged, but dared not speak out.

At the inn, a city guard rushed in and demanded to see King Chen and General Zhen Guo. However, Dugu City and Feng Aotian were not at the inn. After a brief exchange of words, they were about to return when, at a turn, several masked figures suddenly leaped down from above. Before they could even retaliate, both were instantly killed.

Lu Nianzheng was just about to go to the post house to find Dugu Cheng when he happened upon this scene. Seeing the two guards who had fallen down, he hurried forward, but the other party had already left.st to save her life.""Xi'er knows, Mother Concubine rest assured."After Shu Taifei left, Feng Lingxi covered her mouth and went to the window, letting in some fresh air.
